New guy- MAF compatibility question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

RickBlaine · 07-10-2013, 06:56 AM

Hi,

I am the 2nd owner of a 1991 240sx SE hatchback with the automatic transmission and a KA24DE engine. It is black, and is without ABS brakes! The original owner, a buddy since childhood, just bought a GT-R and gave me the 240sx. Car is 100% stock with 101,000 miles and was 100% dealer maintained (Buddy is a doctor and never wrenched the car).

I attempted to clean my MAF sensor and ended up breaking the solder contacts when I removed it from the car. And now I know that the solder is the weak point! Car ran perfectly before.

The current MAF has a part number of:
22680 53F00 A36-000 G6O (not sure if that last digit is a zero or the letter o)

I found a used MAF....but part number is:
22680 D9000 JA36605 GAO (not sure if that last digit is a zero or the letter o)

1) What MAF part number(s) can I use to save my ride?
2) If I use a different MAF number, it may still fit physically, but will it alter air/fuel readings and the power band, etc? I don't want that.
3) Please help me. I searched and for every one person that says I can find an Altima MAF from 1993-1997, there is another saying "no" as the Altima KA24DE engine is tuned differently and using its MAF will screw up my 240sx.

I love this car....I screwed up. What MAF do I use? The 53F00 are few and far between, but there seems to be plenty of D9000 out there.

@Carbomb:

1) When I open up the MAF to solder the contacts, what is best way to re-attach the rubber cover to prevent air leaks. Gasket sealer? I will give it a try.

2) Auto parts store wants $297 for a replacement. Are these plastic ones on eBay and Amazon any good?

3) I will email you regarding if you have one in your shop, thank you.

4) I still don't know if an Altima MAF will alter the 240sx's performance in anyway???

There are plenty of Altima MAFs for sale on eBay and Craigslist....will they work as intended on the 240?
